I found this link

about a county in California (near Irivne and Newport Beach) that has installed this synthetic turf. The site has reports on the amount of water saved, elimination of pesticides, etc. Seems like depending on the type you get (it comes in a variety just like real grass) it runs anywhere from $6 to $9 per sq. ft., and the average household in the study saved over 22,000 gallons of water a year.
